Took a couple of days a week or so ago and went to Belgium. Visited the lovely cities of Brussels and Brugge, and more importantly the lovely DPC'ers Ralitza ( dreamy) and Bianca ( anotherday). For those that follow along at home, I took tourist shots! (It's what I do...)
A couple of tips about Belgium - not a big country. Stop at one of the many well-equipped rest stops before you leave Germany... Belgium doesn't have any from the Netherlands until you almost get to Brussels. From Brussels to Brugge you're set for rest stops, but if you need gas, you won't find any easily from Brugge to Ghent.
While in Belgium, you must, of course, buy chocolate. I cannot describe how insanely good it is. Seriously. And if in season, get mussels. They're awesome. I've heard the beer is good, too.
The language (used on road signs) is Flemish, of which I know none. The other language, particularly in Brussels, is French. And nearly everyone speaks some English. If you want a recommendation for a good hotel in Brugge, let me know - the one I stayed in was quite nice, excellent location, easy parking and access.
Anyway, there are pictures. Here are a few:
